Woman charged after serving salty burger

UNION CITY - A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges after a police officer complained that the burger she prepared with too much salt made him sick.

Kendra Bull, 20, was charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and arrested at 1:30 a.m. Friday. After a court hearing later that morning, she was released on $1,000 bond.

Bull said she accidentally spilled too much salt on the hamburger meat, but told her supervisor and another co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off," she said. Bull took a break and said she ate a burger made from the salty meat.

Union City Police Officer Wendell Adams ordered a Big N' Tasty at the drive-through window and also got a burger made from the oversalted meat. A short time later, Adams returned to the restaurant and told the manager he had gotten sick from eating it.

Union City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged with reckless conduct because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it."
